🎃 Halloween Stories for Kids

Halloween is the one night of the year when children want a little shiver with their bedtime story. The trick is finding tales that feel deliciously spooky without crossing into nightmare territory. Every Halloween story here is written for ages 3 to 8, which means candlelit pumpkins, kind little witches and mysteries that always end in a warm, safe place.

Meet Hazel the kind witch on her broom, follow Brum the troll under his moonlit bridge, and join Captain Stinkbeard as he hunts treasure that turns out to be friendlier than it looks. Each story is free to read, and with Premium your child can listen to professional narration while the illustrations carry them through the story.

Read one together in the pumpkin-glow of October, or queue a few as a Halloween bedtime playlist. Sweet dreams guaranteed, even on the spookiest night of the year.
